Denver, Day 5, Part II
May. 24th, 2007 11:35 pmAlas, leaving the GCA caller school early on Wednesday made me miss a very interesting session: Deborah Carroll-Jones discussed CRaMS, a square dance sight-resolution methodology. I've read the materials but that's no substitute for having it presented by a live human being with the opportunity to ask questions. Doh!
I did spend the afternoon productively though: From the list of music which was discussed over the past several days, I purchased six online. A few I couldn't locate in any sales database; others I suspect I can buy from another DC area caller who is rumoured to have spare copies.
cuyahogarvr arrived shortly after 3 PM, followed shortly by housekeeping. After giving him a quick tour of the facilities, we scooted through the rain over to Hyatt to rendez-vous with
kent4str,
rlegters and
tdjohnsn. The boys just finished their course evaluations and had collected our tickets to see "Wicked" later in the evening.
The rain was down to a light drizzle by the time we headed out into the city for dinner. Alas, the wait time at our first choice of restaurant would have been too long so we settled for "Sam's No. 3" as it was next door and in the vicinity of the theater.
"Wicked" was great fun. I haven't read the book --who has the time?-- and I am assured by others it barely tracks the intent of the novel so great is the disconnect. Still, it was a great cast, well performed and a great space in which to see it. BTW, we had fantasic seats: orchestra, row P, dead center... go me! :-)
After the show, we drifted back to our room and loitered quietly, unwinding for almost 2 hours before heading to bed.
